About me

Appeared as KARL BENNING in IT'S A SIN by Russell T Davies, for Red Productions/Channel 4/HBO, with Keeley Hawes and Stephen Fry.

Double OFFIE Award Finalist for BEST MALE PERFORMANCE in THE FIX as Grahame Chandler and as Ray Say in LITTLE VOICE. WINNER of BEST DRAMATIC MALE PERFORMANCE (Off West End Break a Leg Awards).

'The show is driven by the astonishing performance of Ken Christiansen as Grahame. Christiansen, who only last month was wowing the Union's audiences in Little Voice, yet again nails his character's manipulative duplicity. Flawless in both voice and presence’ - Jonathan Baz

'Strassen has assembled a fine vocal ensemble here. Ken Christiansen, fresh from a similarly impressive role in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, shines as Grahame, the fixer' - Musical Theatre Review

'Ken Christiansen as Cal's Uncle Grahame steals the show in the meatiest and most defined role, which piles failed political aspirations atop of internalised homosexuality and childhood polio. It's a lot to carry, and Christiansen does so admirably, involuntarily making Grahame the centre of the show’ - London Theatre

Ken Christiansen plays Grahame with a mix of steely determination and, hidden deep down, genuine fear for what the future holds. His rendition of First Came Mercy shows the twisted view he has of a world he believes despises him. Powerful stuff’ - My Theatre Mates

'Superbly performed, Ken Christiansen dominates his scenes, a Richard III, on crutches’ - Reviews Gate
